Diablo 3– “best to not go on the internet on May 14”

If you’re into lore like I am, and want your experience to be a surprise on launch, heed Bashioks words:

This is a warning to all that spoilers may occur both in these forums, and the internet at large. We’ve worked hard to craft an engaging story and fun game, and our hope is that you have a pristine experience. For that reason we recommend you exercise extreme caution when perusing the webs of cyber space.

If you’re to be the lucky owner of a Collector’s Edition, we highly recommend you wait until after you have completed the game on Normal before opening the art book or watching the behind-the-scenes DVD/Blu-ray. Both of these items contain big spoilers, and should probably be avoided until later.

You should be especially cautious on May 14, as with the installer unlocking and worldwide releases taking place, the entire game will be available to be discovered and datamined. We also plan to populate the Diablo3.com game guide with item data that Monday, which may themselves be spoilers. If you care about spoilers, it may just be best to not go on the internet on May 14.

Also a quick heads up, I will be covering the midnight launch along with my colleague Brandon at a Microsoft Store location. We want to see your midnight launch as well so take a camera phone pic and send it our way to dontcritme@gmail.com and we will include it in the article!
